Liverpool
The Merseyside club sit at the top of the Premier League, 2 points ahead of reigning champion Manchester City. The Reds only lost to Nottingham Forest in mid-September . After this surprising hitch, they in turn won against Bournemouth, Wolverhampton, Crystal Palace and Chelsea before taking a good point at Arsenal. Last weekend, Liverpool resumed their march forward by beating Brighton. Impressive in the Champions League as well, they also occupy the top of the standings. Authors of a flawless 4 victories, they crushed Bayer Leverkusen in the week 4-0 with a Hat trick for the inform Luis Diaz .
Aston Villa
Aston Villa head into the Liverpool match as one of the most improved teams under Unai Emery, having secured Champions League football for the first time in over three decades. Their success last season came from consistent high-level performances, especially from Ollie Watkins and a revamped defense anchored by Emiliano Martinez in between the sticks. Watkins’ goal-scoring prowess, along with his Premier League-leading 13 assists, has made him essential, though his absence would leave a significant gap in Villa’s attack.
Prediction
Liverpool have been cooking with gas at Anfield so far this season, delivering six victories as part of their unbeaten run, so confidence should be high coming into this game. Unai Emery likes to set his sides up to be hard to beat, but I feel a 2-1 Liverpool victory is forthcoming.
